they will receive a special tribute to ground zero in the morning and join us to talk about freedom, liberty and sacrifice on july 4th. set the tivo, grab the tissues and join us. >> the news begins anew in "studio b." the united states and pakistan ended a 7 month standoff offense a key supply route to afghanistan but it took a phone call from hillary clinton. >>> cops arrested the c.e.o. of one time online poker giant on accusations he ran a ponzi scheme that scammed players out of hundreds of millions of dollars. a trade group for drone makers and operators has released a code of conduct for the flying machines. but does it do enough? that's all ahead unless breaking news changes everything on "studio b." >>> but first from fox at 3:00, the u.s. is saying sorry for the nato air strike that killed two dozen pakistani troops last year and secretary of state hillary clinton said both sides acknowledged the mistakes. at the same time pakistan agreed to reopen key border crossings in afghanistan. pakistan closed them in retaliation for the strike effectively cutting off supply routes

, the president likes to say we're 4% of population, we consume 20% of the energy. the u.s. economy is 20% of the global economy and we use roughly 20% of the energy. that's about right. population is a demographic, not an economic input. and the fact of the matter is the whole narrative of the u.s. in the world, its role in the world, and our, as i say, the sort of selfish energy glutton, that's going to change as well. i mean, i think this is -- i do think this is on a scale of the berlin wall coming down, but i would also point out there's a book written after that came down called "the end of history" which was completely wrong. and i think that -- >> maybe it was just ahead of its time. >> way ahead. the fact of the matter is a lot of thought, in a lot of places around the world, tremendous decline rates. the notion there won't be tightness in oil markets globally, i think there will be tightness in markets. i think that certain technologies, renewable technolo technologies, they may not work here because gas prices are so low. they might work in a lot of other places. i think -- it

be nationalized? here are the numbers to call -- you can also find us online. send us a tweet. or e-mail us -- "the new york times" has an piece today that says -- we would like to hear what you think about that. let's continue reading. some economists had a surprisingly different take it comes to the big fish in the economic pond. some found only way to preserve competition was to nationalize. this notion seems counterintuitive. this is a question a lot of newspapers, economists, and politicians asked back in 2009 when the economic crisis hit. now we're revisiting it, especially in the wake of the libor scandal in the uk.

people were standing in the streets saying obama, obama, where are you, you have forsaken us, given up on us, and president obama did. he turned his back on the reform movement in iran because at that point he thought he was going to negotiate with the iranian regime and convince them and charm them out of their nuclear plans. so that's where we are in the arab spring movement. the second thing that we are today, i think this is the greatest threat to american security in the immediate sense is iran's nuclear weapons program. iran has tried to do two things. they want a nuclear weapons, they want to be a nuclear weapons state, they are working fast and furiously towards possession of nuclear weapons, and at the same time, they want to expand to the entire region. they want to be the most powerful country in the persian gulf region in the middle east writ large. why? because that is the check point of world's oil. 40% of the world's exported oil goes through the strait of hormuz. that's past the iranian border. if iran controls the strait of hormuz and controls the persian gulf region,
